Sleek Blush in Rose Gold Review

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold Review

Sleek makeup needs no introduction, thanks to dear Rati :teddy:
I believe Sleek people should thank her a million times for posting sleek products here on IMBB, and thereby increasing their sales in India :toothygrin:

I learnt about this brand here itself and was pretty fascinated with the divine-oh so special palette, aruba blush, pout polishes,etc. So, I ordered a few things from the official sleek makeup website and I received my package within 10 days in good condition.

What the Company Claims:
A highly-pigmented blusher to brighten and define cheekbones.

Shades Available:
Sleek offers its blush in 12 beautiful shades in both matte and shimmery range.

Rati has already reviewed their Aruba blush here. The one that I got is Rose Gold.

My camera wasn’t picking up the shade well, so I have clicked 3-4 pictures of how the blush pan looks like.

My Experience with Sleek Blush in Rose Gold

I love love love this blush :love:

Okay, I was on a lookout for a shimmery blush for long since all the blushes I had where subtle, matte kinds which work well for daily makeup. So, I badly wanted a blush that I could wear for my party makeup. I had almost made up my mind to get “the universally flattering NARS ORGASM Blush,” but the price of that always made me sceptical whether I should invest in a blush that I won’t be using very often 🙂 I tried the Maybelline mousse-something blush, which had shimmer, but didn’t like it much.  After researching a lot on the blogosphere about close dupes for orgasm blush, I could zero on the NYX pinched blush, which most of the bloggers suggested being a close dupe, but unfortunately this remains OOS most of the time on websites. 

When I was ordering my divine-oh-so-special palette, I was checking out the blushes and randomly picked this Rose Gold shade.

Coming to the product, the shade Rose Gold is a beautiful peachy-pink with golden shimmer in it. The shimmer in this blush is intense, but not really chunky or glittery. The quality of the blush is superb, blends very easily and doesn’t get chalky, powdery at all. Also, these are superbly pigmented, has amazing colour payoff so you need to start with taking just a little amount on the blush. The shade Rose Gold provides a pretty highlighting effect to the cheek bones which looks fabulous (night time/party makeups). About staying power, I can say it survives/remains intact on my cheeks for a good 3-4 hours at least.

The product comes in a matte exterior black case, which is quite like how NARS blushes are packed   It comes with a built-in mirror, but no applicator, which is fine as the applicators that come with cosmetics are not really useful. Also, the quantity offered in the pan is a lot and I am sure my grand-daughter would be able to use the blush too 😀

Now coming to the BIG QUESTION, is it really a close dupe of NARS’ BIG O???? umm…mm, I really cannot comment on that, as I don’t own a NARS blush to do a comparative swatching , but from whatever I have seen and researched on the net, I can tell you that it surely belongs to the same genre as of NARS orgasm blush.

Overall, I like this product a lot and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for shimmery blush with a decent price.

What is Good About the Sleek Blush in Rose Gold:

• This is amazingly pigmented.
• The shimmer it has, is not chunky, provides good/subtle highlighting to the cheek bones.
• Blends easily in the skin without much effort.
• Decent 3-4 hours staying power.
• Compact, easy-to-use and carry packaging.
• Fairly priced for the great quantity they offer, good value for money product.

The only sad part about them is non-availability in India, has to be ordered online. Even though the price of the product is a mere 6 $, its shipping charge is a bit too much.

Apart from this, I could not find any/much flaw in the product and I would surely like getting the other shades too 

yes it is the under eye one. I used it for a couple of days and gave it to a friend. I have really bad dark circles and it wasnt right for me. and having it as a base before applying the actual concealer was making it too heavy and cakey so i stopped using it. maybe for ppl who dont have much but are looking for just a light cover up, the might work

Arunaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa….that’s because most of the people might be sitting with their jaws dropped…..because I am sitting here with my jaw somewhere near to the ground….he he…so much you bought …..I agree with you….I didn’t buy any Oriflame before IMBB…..now tho, I am renaming our house “O House” :pompom: :pompom: :pompom: :pompom: :pompom: :pompom: :pompom: :pompom:

I need sleek pout polish and blush too :waaa: . But their shipping price always stop me from doing that. We can do a combined order like sireesha and shivani did…Anybody in bangalore wanna club with me for ordering from sleek? More than 3 people shipping will become affordable. What say ??

oh its a definite reco 😉 …I also have their chrome pigment in Java which I use as a bronzer ( as I have yellow undertones ..copper bronzers usually make me look sick..), highlighter (mixed with lotion/cream) and alone as eyeshadow… I love these pigments…U can do soooo much with them…and the quality is dayam good… :woot: :woot: :woot:

the one i got was authentic, and the packaging was decent too..
the time for delivery was around 5-6 days from UK..
but yea, if ure buying something from Sleek, count me in.. 🙂 always willing to get new goodies..

@Sugisoni – ya pretty guilty about that..having a mall close by and the internet on my table just adds to the madness..after writing it down i realized that was quite something. wont be buying anything for the next 6 months atleast :-/

Hi Nupur…now you’ve left me drooling at the shimmery effect this blush gives and it’s also a lovely shade. (I have NARS Orgasm and NYX Pinched,,…but can we ever have enough with makeup?). 😀 😀 Btw…if any of you dolls would like to do shared shipping and ordering, please do count me in….thank you. :yahoo: :yahoo:
